Funny you should say that about Alex Cox.Listening to Mendik on the Tenebrae disc made me think of the Moviedrome series that Cox used to present on BBC2.Mendik comes off more like Cox's replacement,Mark Cousins.Someone who rubs you up the wrong way and you really don't care what they have to say (although I still give the man a pat on the back for bringing Suspiria to Blu-Ray).
